Between this year and last year, the Royals had 20 draft picks in the first 8 rounds of each draft.They took Bobby Witt Jr, and 19 college players.If they’re right, that’s one way to speed up the rebuild. But they have to be right.— Rany Jazayerli (@jazayerli) June 4, 2019

One more thing: through 8 rounds and 9 picks, the Royals haven’t drafted a single player who ranked higher on Baseball America’s draft rankings than the pick he was selected at.The Royals may know what they’re doing. But if not, they have no one to blame but themselves.— Rany Jazayerli (@jazayerli) June 4, 2019

I’d be more psyched for this draft strategy if it wasn’t for the fact that over two-thirds of the players taken on Day One were college players. When everyone else zigs, you should zag. So far the Royals aren’t. https://t.co/a0t4VoHp1G— Rany Jazayerli (@jazayerli) June 4, 2019
